Dancing: The Highest Intelligence in the Freest Body.

You were once wild here. Don't let them tame you.

The Dance - it is the rhythm of all that dies in order to live again; it is the eternal rising of the sun.

My motto - sans limites.

A dancer, if she is great, can give to the people something that they can carry with them forever. They can never forget it, and it has changed them, though they may never know it.

Living becomes an awesome business when you realize that you spend every moment of your life in the sight and company of an omniscient, omnipresent Creator.

The solution to the problem of life is seen in the vanishing of this problem.

I feel so terrible for the kids now. In London, even people in their forties can't afford to buy a house or have kids.

You ask me, 'What is the secret of remaining happy and married?'

I'm always gonna have the darker edgy music; it is always in my pocket because it comes so naturally to me.
